Catch watched Justine, his breaths were slow and illregular. Catch was unsure on what to say to Kehlan, the man was the cause of Justines state, yet it was him who resuced him as well. He felt like yelling and hitting the big man, while at the same time shaking his hand and thanking him.

Upon hearing Magdin, Catch turned to face him.

"Justine is NOT dead. He won't die, not here. I'm sure of it."

The words rocked something in Catch and he turned to face the big bulk of Kehlan. "Damn it!! Why the Hell Didn't you move? Whats up with you!?" His cry of anger was sudden and lacked control.

Catch seemed to have surprised himself. He absentmindily touched his forhead, were the strange "magic rune" was found. It seemed to calm him down.

( OOC : Would we need a white mage? Or would the kiss of life be needed. Though I'm sure Justine would love to get it from Yarrie but I'm sure none of you guys are that nice, huh? )

by **Nick Shogun** » Thu Jun 13, 2002 7:02 am

Magdin smiled at his absent mind. "How rude of me. Of course he won't die. But getting angry won't do Justine a bit of good. Sometimes things just happen, and nothing can change that."

Magdin set his hand on Catch's shoulder. "Now, I'm sure our client will know what to do," the old man noted, turning his head and looking at Ash and Yarrie.

IM: These things just seem to fling themselves about...

by **Jak Snide** » Thu Jun 13, 2002 9:04 am

Kehlan let the smaller man shout at him. He probably should have moved. But that wasn't important now.

He looked at Justine, his brow furrowing as he tried to remember what the temple had told him to do in such a situation.

A expression of inspiration flashed across his face, and he placed a giant palm across the cowboys chest, pushing down lightly...

And squeezing the water right out of the lungs, Justine hacking and coughing it up, air finally able to return to his lungs.

by **Ash Fanrico** » Thu Jun 13, 2002 1:45 pm

Yarrie shook Ash, "C'mon! Get up!" she said as she tried to awaken him. She began to worry, "Ash? Wake up!" she cried as tears began to form in her eyes.

She fell over onto Ash, sobbing lightly, "Don't die Ash. Please..." she said in between sobs...

by **Jak Snide** » Thu Jun 13, 2002 2:47 pm

Kehlan stood up sharply after hearing Yarrie's cries. His work wasn't done yet. He walked over towards the unconscious warrior, gently moving Yarrie aside with one hand, standing down, examining Ash.

Looking him over carefully, he nodded once, having noted the shallow breathing that assured him he wasn't dead. He probably took a knock to the head when the wave pitched him across the deck.

Kehlan closed his eyes, placing both palms on Ash's chest, one atop the other. Muttering quietly, both of his hands began to glow white, the awakening spell seeping into his body.

(OOC: Ash, you make the call on the spells effects. Ideally, it'll wake Ash up, and heal a tiny bit of damage.)

by **Ash Fanrico** » Thu Jun 13, 2002 3:01 pm

Ash began to stir. His eyes shot open and he was breathing regularly again. Yarrie was overjoyed and she gave the warrior a big hug. "Ash!!! You're alright!!!" she cheered as she squeezed Ash. Ash placed his hand on the back of his head.

He placed his arm around Yarrie, "How... are the others?" he asked. Yarrie looked at him, "They're alright. We're all alright." she said as she gave him another big hug. Ash looked up at the big man who had saved him. He nodded in his direction, "Thanks." he said as he and Yarrie hugged.

Ash was thinking about what to do next now that they all arrived at their destination.

Ash was also thinking about his friends back in Doma... and ChristyDia....

by **Jak Snide** » Thu Jun 13, 2002 3:09 pm

Kehlan simply smiled, and patted Ash on the head twice, as if he was a small child. He then stood again, walking back towards Justine, to see how he was doing.

by **Choark** » Fri Jun 14, 2002 1:02 pm

Justine spat out the rest of the water that he had swallowed while near drowning and pushed himself up onto his feet, and drained out the water in his hat.

"Feel like I got the whole bloody sea in me!" He shook himself like a dog would have to get some more of the water off him. "My whole life flashed before my eyes."

Justine looked over everyone who was watching him, which was the big man, Kehlan, and Catch, who was calming himself down and keeping to himself.

He slapped Kehlan on the sholder. "Thanks partner! You saved me life." Justine didn't bother mentioning that his life was in danger because of him.

Taking his guns outta there holsters, he tapped and shook the water out of them. "Lest these didn't fall. . . hate to lose these beauts!"

He coughed out some more water.

- - - - -

Catch saw that Justine was okay and turned to Magdin. "Thanks for the kind words and all. . . I'm sorry for snapping. . . " Catch looked at Justine. " I just need him to stay alive, and he always gets into these things, it gives me a headache."

Shaking his head Catch walked over to Justine and helped slap some more water out of him.

by **Whelan2000us** » Fri Jun 14, 2002 11:53 pm

(OOC: Say Ash, could you give me a little ooc info of what was done with Whelan's sword after Diego bonked him?)

IM: I must have the devil's own luck cause the amount of forced sleep I had has nearly recharged my gauntlet's power reserve. Still I better not make a rash move until just the right moment. Perhaps I can buy a little more time and rouse Dante to make his move while I try to get my mental link reconnected to my sword.

"Hey Dante! I'm blamming this on the head wound I have because at the moment I feel the need to ask you something. You undoubtably have been around the block more than once sooo....could you tell me anything you've ever heard about my father Torran... I mean Darkblade?"

by **Ash Fanrico** » Sat Jun 15, 2002 12:03 am

Dante looked back over at Whelan, "I don't know who the hell you're talking about. Never heard a person called DarkBlade."

by **Nick Shogun** » Sat Jun 15, 2002 1:18 am

Magdin sat back down on the now sopping wet bench where he had previously been tethered. Reaching inside his cloak, he yanked out the bag that was latched around his chest. Untying the hole in the top, he pulled out a pair of metal gloves, a rusty iron helmet, and a piece of chainmail.

"You can never be too prepared. I suppose if I was in a hurry to die I should discard these protective items..."

He also took out his broadsword, a short, chipped blade that extended into a black leather handle. He grinned. It was such a piece of crap. After hacking up monsters for four or five years with the same sword, it turns to hell.

"My old sword. After this adventure, I'm afraid I'm going to have to find a replacement for you. Don't worry, I'll keep you around, for the memories, of course."

Magdin took another look at the sky. "The light is grey. There must be a large quantity of magic nearby. I hope this armor can protect me enough against whatever we meet on this accursed island."

by **Ash Fanrico** » Sun Jun 16, 2002 12:15 pm

Ash and Yarrie got up from where they were sitting. Ash looked over the Temple. "Looks like we're going to be in for quite the task." he said as Yarrie leaned against him.

Ash turned to the others, "Everyone ok?" he asked.

by **Blaze Yamato Spirit** » Sun Jun 16, 2002 2:42 pm

(OOC: Yep. I'm back. Thanks for taking over Deinar, Jak. You did a good job.)

Deinar himself had taken ahead injury during that last wave, which had slammed him against the ship's railing. Only now did he begin to come around. Fumbling with the rope around his waist, he gritted his teeth and winced as blooms of pain exploded behind his eyes.

Keep your head still...the pain will be gone in a moment.

Releasing himself from the rope, he sat where he was, carefully cradling his head in his hands.

by **Ash Fanrico** » Sun Jun 16, 2002 3:45 pm

Ash looked over at Deinar, "You alright?" he asked. Yarrie looked back over at the Temple. "We'd best hurry if we're going to make any progress." she said as she looked back at the others.

by **Jak Snide** » Sun Jun 16, 2002 3:49 pm

As soon as he saw Deinar was hurt, Kehlan plodded over to him as fast as he could, kneeling down beside his friend.

"Yer alroit?" he asked, looking over Deinars head for injury.

by **Blaze Yamato Spirit** » Sun Jun 16, 2002 3:56 pm

'Aye. Nothing a few minutes staying VERY still won't cure. I think I have a bump there though.'

Deinar looked around, very slowly.

'Is everyone else okay?'

by **Jak Snide** » Sun Jun 16, 2002 4:01 pm

Kehlan nodded once.

"Yer. 'At strangeloi dressed one took 'er doive inna sea, 'an that Ash bloke knocked his 'ead up pretoi bad, but both of 'em are foine nar."

by **Nick Shogun** » Sun Jun 16, 2002 9:05 pm

Magdin strapped on the last of his heavy armor and grabbed his sword. "Ha! Time for us to go rectify this evil that might possibly befall mankind!!"

by **Ash Fanrico** » Mon Jun 17, 2002 2:07 am

Ash took this moment to ask Yarrie more about this mission, "Yeah... my history's a bit rusty... mind telling me again what this island's about?" he asked the elven woman.

Yarrie looked over the Dark Temple, it's menacing gates open... "There is a forbidden spell contained within. The Uncontrollable, the Wild Card, Espylocopa." she replied still looking at the Temple Entrance.

Ash looked confused, "You mean that one Summon Beast that can't be controlled? The one who once summoned attacked BOTH armies, even the one it was summoned by?" he asked, finally grasping her words.

Yarrie only nodded.

"Ho... ly.... @#%$!!! You mean if we don't stop them... they'll... oh gods... We gotta hurry!" said Ash as he ran over to the railing, he turned to the Captain of the ship, "Bring her around once we leave. We can't having our ride destroyed now can we? *turns to the others* Let's move... now!" he said as he hopped up onto the railing and leaped off, waist high in the water. He began stomping towards the beachline...

Back in the Temple...

Dante finally snapped. "IS THERE A MEANING TO ALL OF THIS? We've been in here for hours... how much longer must we BE IN HERE?" he asked Trellayne. Trellayne turned sharply towards Dante. His face looked very enraged.

"Remember who was the one who saved your pitiful dying ass!! I've come THIS far to finally realizing my life's dream. I'm going to study up so as to make sure that I now what I am dabbeling in. Tis a safety precaution... " said Trellayne as he went back to his reading.

Dante gritted his teeth and folded his arms. "Blasted fool..." he said under his breath.

by **Choark** » Mon Jun 17, 2002 9:28 am

"Seems like this guy fears that summon like a rattle snake fears the sabre toothed mouse huh?" Justine grinned. "Seems like we're going partners! Let Ride on out!!"

Justine jumped over the edge of he ship and joined Ash in the sea, heading towards the beach.

Catch smiled at the rest of the crew. "Least we can get off this boat." He more carefully lowered himself into the water and followed behind Justine. At last land! I was getting tired . . .

"Hey partner!" Justine shouted to the group leader, Ash, as he waded through the sea. "Mind filling us in on this sun-of-a-gun of a summon and all? Least enough of it so we ain't shooting at the moon on a cloudy night huh?"

by **Ash Fanrico** » Mon Jun 17, 2002 12:41 pm

Ash got on land and turned around, "Well I don't know really anything of what to expect. But... if this creature is as bad as the legends and history say... then we're in deep @#%$." said Ash as he looked around the small beachline. Pieces of wood and rope were strewn around the beach. "Obviously someone else is here." said Ash as he looked down at the debris.

Ash walked up to the entrance, "Ummm... Yarrie dear, could you please tell me how these people were able to open this?" he asked.

Yarrie, who was just catching up to him, stopped to catch her breath. "I don't know. All I know is that it includes one of the descendants of the Elders responsible for constructing this." said Yarrie as she looked up at the Entrance.

"Whoever did must've studied greatly into this before preparing." she added as she turned to look at the debris on the ground.

Back in the Temple...

Diego walked over to Trellayne, the large barbarian explained what Whelan had done before they captured him. Trellayne looked enraged, "He destroyed our boats?" he asked as he looked back over at the young warrior.

Diego nodded. Trellayne smirked, "Well then... when we meet the Temple Guardian... he'll have a warm-up snack!" said Trellayne as he angrily went back to reading.

by **Blaze Yamato Spirit** » Mon Jun 17, 2002 1:03 pm

'Hey old man!' Deinar called to Magdin. 'Looks like if you wanna keep up you'll have to take all that off again! We don't want you going under, now...

His head now clear, except for a dull throb between his ears, he jumped up, sprinted to the railing, and leapt into the sea.

by **Whelan2000us** » Mon Jun 17, 2002 3:31 pm

Whelan just glared right back at Trellayne.

"Now see here old man. You contracted me because I was the only merc willing to kidnap an elf and also because I would be able to leave no traceable evidence back to you. You're the one that didn't pay me for my services so it's no small wonder that I wouldn't be just a little upset. I do believe you very well now how hard it is to capture and take off with an elf or else you wouldn't have hired me in the first place."

Whelan wormed his way into a standing position.

"I tell ya what. Release me and pay me what you owe me so far and I will compensate you for your boats by supplying transportation back to the mainland for you all. I'll even join your cause for a mere double of our original asking price. You have already seen me in action and if I had wanted too I could have killed the barbarian, drow, and queen of pain over there. What do ya say?"

by **Ash Fanrico** » Mon Jun 17, 2002 6:56 pm

Trellayne didn't even look back at him, "You were a fool to trust us. So now you want us to pay you more and let you join us? First you destroy our ship... then you attack a great deal of my group, then you tried to kill me and the rest of the group with that... "Ebony Annihilation" attack... and yet, just now, RIGHT now you want to join us? I am done with you and your pathetic attempts to get rich off us. So your answer is no." said Trellayne as he finally looked up from his reading at the young warrior.

by **Nick Shogun** » Mon Jun 17, 2002 7:33 pm

Magdin whistled as Deinar hopped off into the water, urging him to follow. The old man grinned widely. "Yes, I could take off the armor and get all wet. But there are better methods, dear boy."

Concentrating, Magdin's eyes lost their friendly warmth and became two cold blue orbs, as two massive wings exploded from his back. The armor, as no one had taken the time to notice or bothered to pay attention to, had two small holes cut into the back. The wings, ripping through Magdin's crude grey shirt, grew larger and larger until they reached full span.

Then, as graceful as a majestic falcon, Magdin leapt off the side and soared over the water, where he landed safely on the beach. Upon touchdown, the wings returned to their dormant stage, retracting into his back, and Magdin collapsed to his knees. Deinar trudged from the water with a surprised gaze and helped Magdin to his feet.

"Heh... I'm just too old for this type of thing. But going into this stuffy old temple, what would I need wings for anyway?"

Deinar sighed.

"At least I'm not wet."

The old man cackled in a humorous tone.

by **Ash Fanrico** » Mon Jun 17, 2002 9:53 pm

Ash chuckled, "Heh.. well it looks like you didn't need the boat after all eh?" he asked in a a joking matter as he looked at Magdin.

by **Whelan2000us** » Tue Jun 18, 2002 3:05 am

"Be resonable will ya!"

When Whelan took a step forward he unfortunately let go of the losened ropes as they fell to the ground.

"I ahhh.. Oh nevermind that I was oiut of those ropes five minutes ago, but in all serious points of view Trellayne you most likely would have done the same thing in my place I'd wager. The difference I percieve is that you would have come back just for vengence while I on the other hand see no profit in petty revenge. You're either going to use this summon to rule or dystroy the world and if it's too rule than you'll have money to burn. Pardon my greedy tone, but with me you get a powerful ally that can help you. I highly doubt that this has gone past the watchful gaze of the elves and they will more than likely look for assistance from some 'hero' like Ash Fanrico or something. He already beat Dante's ass once, no offense buddy, and if he can't be held back then there's no hope for you old man. Espylocopa or not if he has a clean shot at you he will throw his dieing breath as a dagger uto your heart. (Hey, that was pretty poetic.) Do reconsider Trellayne. I more than willing negotiate my fee. Or you can just pay me what you owe me and I'll leave no questions asked....."

Just then the Shadow Sword bore through the cave wall and flew into Whelan's hand.

"...Or I'll take that elf back one way or the other. FULL ON MAGIC ARMOR POWER UP!"

Whelan's gauntlet glowed for a blink of an eye moment as his body was enveloped in what some have seen as the mirror black like armor that Darkblade would wear in great battles.

"The choice is yours old man and I hope you make the right one for your sake."

IM:Now I'm in deep @#%$! If this guy even touches me with a zeroth level fire spell my armor will disapate and not be able to reform for a month. If I don't this bluff off I'm screwed and I'll have too run. I never should have summoned this armor without my gauntlet's power fully restored. Dammit! Good thing they can't see my expression with my face plate down though.

(OOC: *info* The armor that you have just witnessed is incomplete as the young warrior Whelan has of yet to fully master his weapons handed down to him from his father Darkblade. The armor itself is nearly indestructible, however it will only withstand a limited amount of damage(HP) before it dissolves completly away and leaves Whelan at 0 magic energy (MP) left in his gauntlet. "FYI" Also there is the possibility that if he still haves it on when Ash shows up he could very well mistake him for the real Darkblade, but who knows?)

by **Jak Snide** » Tue Jun 18, 2002 12:37 pm

Kehlan, who had jumped off the boat after Deinar, was currently frozen in awe of what he had just seen, although he did his best not to show it to Magdin. The old man certainly had a good few surprising qualities.

by **Ash Fanrico** » Tue Jun 18, 2002 1:31 pm

(DB go to the OOC Section on the Espylocopa Discussion Thread so we can discuss this. Until then we're not going to continue that part till we can get ORGANIZED.)

Ash turned around. "Alright, time to finally go in. Now I don't know if there are any traps in here, but just be on the look out. Don't touch anything suspicious and look out for any possible trip wires. Let's move. We got to stop these people from summoning this monster." said Ash as he walked into the Temple.

by **Ash Fanrico** » Wed Jun 19, 2002 2:21 pm

Trellayne wasn't even moved. "You wish to continue this worthless prattle? Fine then... but this time you may not be so fortunate to get knocked unconscious." said Trellayne as he began to chant and charge up an attack.

by **Blaze Yamato Spirit** » Wed Jun 19, 2002 3:18 pm

'In we go then.' Deinar muttered, as he reached the temple's door.

'After you.' he said, bowing, waiting for Yarrie to pass.

by **Whelan2000us** » Wed Jun 19, 2002 5:08 pm

*In a Cartman tone of voice*
"Oh...@#%$........bye!"

Whelan took off like a bolt of lightning in the opposite direction back towards the entrance and thought to himself..

IM:This really sucks!

by **Jak Snide** » Wed Jun 19, 2002 6:07 pm

Kehlan, having overcome his awe after seeing Magdin fly, strode after Deinar, standing behind him as he reached the temple doors.

by **Choark** » Wed Jun 19, 2002 7:51 pm

Justine looked at the old man Magdin. He wasn't too sure he had expected something like that at all, but he didn't feel quite as surprised as he thought he might of done.

He glanced over to Catch who just shrugged at him. He mouth at him Didn't have a clue and shook his head.

"Here I thought you knew this kinda stuff. . ."

Catch looked around, he was searching for a quiet spot. He looked at Justine and mouth something else. Justine nodded and pointed over near the temple. Catch nodded once and set off alone.

Justine then turned to the group who had near gathered.

"Lets get going then huh partners!"

by **Ash Fanrico** » Thu Jun 20, 2002 5:21 pm

Trellayne stopped in his chanting, taken off guard by Whelan's actions. "He was bluffing... " he said as he looked over at Jaggie.

"Follow him... but don't engage in combat." he ordered as he turned towards the others. "Let's continue... if Jaggie is telling the truth, some interference will be here shortly." he said as he took one last look at the Symbol of Espylocopa before continuing on down the hallways of the Temple.

by **Ash Fanrico** » Fri Jun 21, 2002 10:10 pm

Ash and Co. started down the hallway, their opponents had a good head start... so they'll probably have to huff it soon.

From the looks of things, there wasn't much to the temple. Probably from the fact that they weren't trying to comemorate the chaotic event that was so costly. Obviously there had been someone before them, for the torches were all lit.

"So... Yarrie... could you tell us what the situation is? How did this all start?" asked Ash as they walked.

by **Nick Shogun** » Sat Jun 22, 2002 7:57 pm

[OOC: Hey, I'm in Cali right now, so if someone could move and fight for me until I return in July, I'd be appreciative. This will be my last post for ten days.]

Magdin searched about the room. He was filled with a feeling of suspense that envigorated him immensely and reminded him of his younger days... when he was more whole.

Perhaps it was this reason, this nostalgia, that made him bounce off to new quests so wildly and easily. He grimaced, for one the first times since he set out on this journey. He had a task to accomplish, and he was avoiding it as much as possible.

by **Jak Snide** » Sun Jun 23, 2002 9:57 am

Kehlan followed at the back of the group, casually looking around the temple. Not as nice as the Ashuran temple back home, but far larger. He then began to wonder who this temple was dedicated to.

by **Blaze Yamato Spirit** » Sun Jun 23, 2002 11:18 am

'Seems an odd place to keep a spell hidden.' Deinar voiced his thoughts aloud. 'If I wanted to put a spell where it would never be found, I'd put it somewhere less...findable.'

He glanced nervously at the walls - there was something about this building that set him on edge. It seemed ...aware. In some obscure way, he was sure that it new that there were intruders within it...

by **Ash Fanrico** » Sun Jun 23, 2002 2:04 pm

Ash looked around while he walked on, "I don't think they ever really planned on anyone getting past that big entryway." Ash said as they walked on.

Yarrie was more spellbound by the place. She had heard of this place when she was growing up. But never imagined that she would see it.
